Story:The sequel to Mechwarrior 4: Vengeance. When you're a 'Mech Mercenary, you call the shots.

You answer only to the call of fortune. Your fate is in your hands alone. Select from 4 of the most notorious mercenary units, Kell Hounds, Wolf's Dragoons, Northwind Highlanders, and Gray Death Legion, to alter your missions, with different outcomes based on your victories. Choose from over 35 different 'Mechs, including 10 new ones. And for the first time ever, your secondary lance allows you to muster 8 'Mechs into battle simultaneously. Or make a killing in the infamous Solaris VII arenas, where fighting dirty can make you filthy rich. Includes 'Mechs from the Black Knight expansion for Mechwarrior 4, and is fully compatible with Mechwarrior 4 'Mech Packs. Fight for fame. Fight for fortune. Fight as a Mech Mercenary!Show more

I love Mechs, I love being a Mercenary and I love cold hard cash.
This game lets you command a squad of Mercenary Mech pilots and you travel around doing what Mercenaries do, earning cold hard cash and not caring about anything else..it's wonderful!
Accept a contract, fulfill your goal, get paid, repeat. If the client wants extra duties, that's extra pay for you, never settle for anything less.
One of the first tabletop games I ever played was Battletech, I enjoyed it, but 40k called to my tender young mind. I didn't truly love Battletech and it's expansive, wonderful setting until I played Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries. I still play a version of it to this very day. It's a stellar sim that might look a bit rough graphically these days but certainly still holds up mechanically. Manage your two lances of mercs, hire and fire pilots, buy new machines, equip them with some absolutely satisfying and interesting guns, and bring the pain for pay.
One very clear memory was fighting a trial of possession with the Jade Falcons. That's mech combat as pure as it can get. 5 v 5, except the Clanners have better machines than you and probably more powerful weapons. Got through that fight the first time by the skin of my teeth, getting my pilots to concentrate fire... then claiming the Star Colonel who'd been giving me hell for the last couple missions as a bondsman, recruiting her... man it was so sweet.
It's a game of it's times, and you don't have nearly as much freedom to go anywhere as say Mechwarrior 5... but you know what? I prefer this one. This one's a gem, people, play it!
And remember.
No Guts, No Galaxy!
Probably the best MechWarrior game I've ever played. With the MekTek mod, it's even better!
I can't remember how many times I've completed this game (on different difficulties and with different endings). But sadly, I never experienced the famous multiplayer battles out there.
I've been suggesting all the Mechwarrior titles. Played them when I was a kid, and haven't been able to get any versions I've found of it elsewhere to work, so the only way I think I could play them again is if you guys release them. Pleas, release these games, all of them.
Truth be told, while i did played this game quite a bit as a kid, i only have vague memories of it.
Vague images of destoyed cities, fighting other mechs in a foggy town, customizing my mech to try and make it better but clearly being too young to know what i was doing cause this game was a lil too complex for the age i played it, but what i remember most was how much i enjoyed it. How i just couldn't stop playing even i couldn't get much progress in cause i was playing my cousin's house and i wasn't allowed to play it too much.
I want to be able to finally fully experience this game, try and learn all the mechanics, finally play the story, to bring back those memories
This game gave me a love for mechs that I didn't realize I had. Back in the day, I doo dooed on the floor and stepped in it but thankfully I was able to play Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries as my body adapted to the smell. Over the course of the day, I was so enthralled with mech warrior that I barely even noticed the smell. Later after the city turned our water back on I was able to get it out under my toenails when I took a shower. To this day, whenever I have an explosive diarrhea crap after my morning coffee, the smell of doo doo is so entwined with my memories of Mechwarrior 4 that I will frequently rush to the computer to boot up my original copy from back in the day. Check it out to see how games used to be made and how they SHOULD be made!
Each of the original four MechWarrior games are timeless for their own reasons. It's a shame that they have fallen between the cracks as time has passed
However, I feel like they deserve a second chance, and GOG is the place to do it. MechWarrior 4 is a favorite for a reason, even if the story isn't your cup of tea, the gameplay and team-based mechanics will be! And it's surprisingly varied too. You have Gladiatorial missions on Solaris VII (A planet known for these types of events), stealth missions that don't outstay their welcome, and skirmishes and battles that will have you trying new things to get the best result. Or just to see how that weird loadout would've worked
This series is a treat! It's my sincere hope that these games can get their day in the sun again, and new MechWarriors can suit up! After all....
No Guts, No Galaxy
I love this game.. Everyone with Gog should have it . This game lets you command a squad of Mercenary Mech pilots and you travel around doing what Mercenaries do, earning cold hard cash and not caring about anything else. It's wonderful!
Grew up with this game in my teenage years. Played it with MekTek's MekPak series of mods, which added more 'Mechs and weapons. Long time ago, Microsoft gave MekTek permission to redistribute MW4Mercs and its official Mech Packs alongside this large-scale mod, the rights of which had long since expired.
as a kid i used to play this all the time and never got old for me, just used to just mess round just blowing stuff up and having a good old time, what can you expect? mechs vs mechs, laser and more lol
The Lord of the Rings: The Third AgeThe Lord of the Rings:The Third Age introduces entirely new characters which aren't mentioned in the books or movies. The game does relate to the movies by including scenes from all three movies, with new background speech by Ian McKellen (Gandalf).
There are seven playable characters in the game which have been created specifically for it, as well a small appearances by characters such as Gandalf, Aragorn, Eowyn, Faramir, and Gothmog.
